Ask HN: How can one survive in the current software engineering market?

There are layoffs happening constantly, and gone are the times when people would spend years in one company and only then transition.

My condolences to all the people getting laid off, hopefully you find a better opportunity. What I wanted to know is how can one survive in this current software engineering market? The few ways I see is to either - 1) acquire knowledge that very less people in the organization have. 2) create tremendous value that everyone thinks twice to fire you

Or is the game so screwed up that there is no chance of surviving and getting fired is inevitable and one has to just keep moving on from there?
